Slow Progress on “Cherry Crunch”

Keep on Crunching… I’m slow-poking along, but progress continues on the “Cherry Crunch” quilt.   The first more-than-a-half of the pieces are joined, folded, and draped somewhere, waiting for the next step.   The rest of the units are joined into five rows, and those will soon be completely sewn together.   So things are happening—they’re just happening […]

More of the Same Through August

Joining Up the Cherry Crunch… I started putting together the pieces for “Cherry Crunch”!   The units on the design wall are now long strips waiting to be joined together… The units for the remaining five rows are now arranged on the design wall, instead: And at the end of that, somehow I ended up with […]

Otherwise, I haven’t done much crafty stuff since last time […]

“Cherry Crunch” Continues… Well, for the current quilt-piecing project, there’s good news and… weird news.

Watercolor and Salt

Next Steps with “Cherry Crunch” The neutral strings are done (unless I miscounted)!  Once they were all clipped together in groups of ten (for easy counting), it was time to finally decide what color to use for the next phase of the project. As you can see in the photos below, I went with red!  […]

Strings & Mixed Media

Continuing with Neutral Strings for “Cherry Crunch” I’m still plugging away at the neutral strings for “Cherry Crunch”, but we’re nearing the finish line on those.  I could easily finish the remaining string units for this phase of the project today.  However, as usually happens with my quilting (and everything else I do, honestly), now […]
